Awesome

They fulfilled their saying at the start of every episode. It helped me get some of my life back. Super convenient, easy to follow, things you need without nitpicky useless details. I send this to every M3 I meet.

Quality board prep that helps us get more of our lives back!

I am forever grateful to Dr. O’Connell for taking the time to make this FREE podcast! Thanks to his efforts, I’ve been able to study on the go and get back more time for my life, by listening on long drives between my clinical sites, during cardio workouts, while doing laundry, etc. After I found out about this gem of a podcast, my long-term retention of important material improved (evidenced by an increase in my shelf exam scores)! Highly recommend!

Great

Great for when you want to go for a walk or are commuting. Only complaint is the somewhat monotone delivery but otherwise very useful!
